Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

Dark pop songwriter Emi Wes aims her pen right at your heart, stabs, and twists. With “Where’s My Money,” a dusty country & western spin on Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” with a poppy Nancy Sinatra razzle-dazzle, she confronts a user who’s drained her bank account dry. “And there was a time when I was way too sweet,” she admits. “But now I’m done with the nice girl routine. The accompanying visual, shot by Christoffer Torp Vestergaard, fully embraces a neo-noir edge; it’s a stylish setpiece (in color) that slithers under the fingernails. And you never really know if she’s ever going pull the trigger or not. Truly haunting.
